Check out this website, it seems pretty cool. Its a European website but these pictures are from a show in Australia. Absolutely crazy.
Greg I 05-03-2000, 02:31 PM OK, I don't care how fast that car is, I don't care how well it handles... I don't care if it's an STi-powered WRX or not. All I think when I see it is: "HORRIBLE".
Just goes to show how bad taste can kill a good thing.

JasonRan 05-03-2000, 02:45 PM You have to admire the quality of that paint job though. I mean, look at the caliper....DANG!!!
smegma 05-03-2000, 02:49 PM No doubt..It's a killer paint job, but a car like that, you wonder if the dude even drives it. It's like " here's my nice car, but I can't drive it cause I don't want to get it dirty". He probably drives an Si for his second car... he he he
DoctorMoo 05-03-2000, 02:59 PM You can bet he probably doesn't lose it in the parking lot, though.. http://208.9.184.67/NonCGI/wink.gif

RSRacer 05-03-2000, 02:59 PM That's the worst Subaru I have ever seen... What a shame!
lackey 05-03-2000, 03:14 PM Notice the mirror below the car. Not only is the exhaust system all nice and shiney, but there are tiger stripes on the bottom of the car!
Chances are, this is a dedicated show car and doesn't see the city streets much.
Personally, I think its kinda cool, in a totally over the top way.

ColinL 05-03-2000, 03:17 PM well it's either got a well-concealed FMI or it's naturally aspirated.
so my bet is it's all show, no go.
Islander 05-03-2000, 04:33 PM Oy, that interior makes me dizzy... http://208.9.184.67/NonCGI/eek.gif
8Complex 05-03-2000, 05:13 PM This guy has WAY too much money on his hands... I'll be glad to take some off and ease up everyone else's pain. http://208.9.184.67/NonCGI/smile.gif

Hmmm... not sure, Colin -- what do you make of this?

MorayMackenzie 05-04-2000, 10:06 AM Colin,
Yes, the car does appear to have a FMI, and a turbocharger... so it probably isn't a case of "no go"! You can see the intercooler piping in the engine bay and the intercooler itself behind the registration plate... silly place to put a reg. plate!
No argument about the garish looks of the car though. http://208.9.184.67/NonCGI/rolleyes.gif

Automorph 05-05-2000, 07:57 AM He had to have drove through a paint booth for that. Damn everything is the same color.
Rick Buckner 05-05-2000, 08:46 AM I believe it is the same one that I have seen on the net before. Except that it used to have chrome wheels and the jungle seens weren't on the car. The snake crawling up the center console is pretty cool. Maybe the guy works for Exxon or Kellogs and that is the new revised tiger for their ads.
ttoversteer 05-05-2000, 09:30 AM Hey, I like the paint job. I think it's cool. And if you think about it, the paint isn't all that different from those on good ol' hot rodding scene.

RSJeff 05-05-2000, 07:46 PM Does anyone know what kind of wheels those are? I think they would look great on my car in silver or chrome.
